The author claims Larry Eugene Price, Jr. weighed 200 pounds at arrest and 90 at death. The author is lying on both accounts. Why?


Why do you assume he's lying? Or do you have evidence that he is? I've read that he weighed 185 lbs at arrest and 89-90 lbs when he died in multiple sources.

My guess is that his family didn't know he was in jail. He had cognitive and developmental delays, PTSD, bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. I can almost promise you that he didn't call his family to let them know he had been arrested.


Ok.

So they didn’t wonder where he was for over a year?

Sounds like they really didn’t care all that much WHAT happened to him.

If Democrats would quit looking at inpatient mental institutions as being cruel places needing to be shuttered, this shite would end ...along homelessness...this a democrat "equity" issue.

Is this all you do on this board is bring some new sob story every week? Take it up with progressives, who are against insane asylums

Which is why you leftists shouldn't have advocated for the closure of the mental institutes.

Assuming Eric Ferkenhoff is telling the truth about Prince's IQ (a HUGE assumption considering Ferkenhoff's piece is littered with abject lies), Prince was profoundly mentally disabled, and disabled.

Because Prine's DOCUMENTED weight was 185# on arrest, and 120# at death. Not 200# and 90# respectively.

Does that mean it's ok for the government to withhold medication, medical care, food and water from this man?

Further down in the autopsy report, which was obtained by Newsweek, it does say Price was positive for COVID at the time of examination. But nowhere in the autopsy does it say COVID was the primary cause for Price's death.


So now they want to change the rules.

The yearlong delay in bringing Price to court has not been explained.


Remember when we had to shutdown everything for Covid?

Who could’ve predicted some negative outcomes from that?

Oh knock it off with the virtue signaling, Sister Helen.

I can virtually guarantee you that they did no such thing.

Bottom line, is that SOMEONE could’ve come up with the C-note necessary to get him out. You know, namely the people he was a son and brother to.

The article said he was nearing 200 lbs. It did not claim his precise weight was 200 lbs on August 19, 2020.

I haven't seen his autopsy to know his documented weight at death but I've seen a couple of pictures.

People like you and those you vote for demanded that we close all of the sanitariums and asylums where these people used to be housed. Even after the reforms of the late 20th century.

The mental illness and non-drug related homeless epidemic are on you and people who think like you.

Virtue Signaling? You're comfortable with the State exercising this kind of control over its citizens? This is horrifying and your nonchalance about it is equally horrifying.

This has been brought up numerous times in this thread. She’s choosing to avoid it.

Imagine thinking that’s what happened

The guy was insane. He likely refused all of the above.

Yes. Virtue signaling. That’s what you do here.
